Scheffler's prioritization and compartmentalization is even more important than his suddenly strong putting stroke

Lord Byron, who won a record 11 tournaments in a single season, famously gave up golf once he’d made enough money to buy the North Texas ranch he’d always wanted. Nelson had many fine qualities as a golfer, but quality of life remained his ultimate goal. Couldn’t help thinking of Byron last week while listening to Scheffler.

Despite Scottie Scheffler’s dominant PGA season and his recent The Open championship win, he made it clear that Woods remains in a class of his own. “I still think they're a bit silly,” Scheffler told reporters of the G.O.A.T. debates (h/t Normal Sport's Kyler Porter ). “I think Tiger stands alone in the game of golf.”

American Scottie Scheffler has won the 153rd British Open at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland. The 29-year-old is now one major win away from completing a Grand Slam.

Scottie Scheffler won the Open Championship to claim his fourth major title and a winner's share of the $17 million purse.

Scheffler's father, Scott Scheffler, is from Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey. He was a carpenter and stay-at-home dad throughout Scottie's youth, and he played a role in the star golfer's interest in the sport as a kid, including taking him to the driving range and with Diane, eventually getting Scottie access to Royal Oaks Country Club in Dallas.

Scheffler won by four shots Sunday at Royal Portrush, his fourth major victory and first in an Open Championship.
